This is what I thought about at work today:
Almost all objects and aspects of human life have a Patron Saint. A spirit of support, good wishes and protection that help us on our way through life. Many of them are, let’s be honest, ludicrous. Do we really need a Patron Saints of Fireworks?
I was wondering…. if there’s a patron saint for all things, can there also be a Patron Devil as well? A malicious soul that tries to disrupt, prevent and generally ruin the happiness connected to different parts of our lives? I believe so, and I have a few suggestions for the list:
The Patron Devil of Cookery - Jamie Oliver
The Patron Devil of Entertainment - Simon Cowell
The Patron Devil of Drivers - Jeremy Clarkson
I’m going to start a campaign to get a Patron Saint of Wellies. Any other suggestions welcome….
